6AM Still Blessed (Somehow)

[Verse 1]
Alarm screams 6am
I hit snooze, hit the floor instead
Phone dives straight in my coffee
Guess breakfast is caffeinated dread
Dog tracked mud on my clean boots
Truck won't start, just clicks and wheezes
Neighbor’s goat eats my mailbox
Mailman waves, that goat just sneezes (hey!)
[Chorus]
But I’m still here, still kickin’
Got a heart that keeps on tickin’
Got a roof that mostly doesn’t leak when it rains
Friends that laugh when I’m complainin’
Family that drives me insane and
Every mess just gives me one more joke to tell
Yeah the day went south in seconds
But I’m still blessed, if I’m reckonin’
If this is rock bottom, it’s doin’ pretty well
[Verse 2]
Shirt on inside out at work
Boss says, “Son, that’s quite a style”
Spilled lunch all over the keyboard
Now it smells like chili for a while
Text my girl, “You’re my sunshine”
Autocorrect says “You’re my dumpster”
She just sends back fifty laugh-cry
Guess I’m lucky she’s a good sport, huh? (oh yeah)
[Chorus]
‘Cause I’m still here, still smilin’
Even when my plans are flyin’
Off the rails like some discount carousel
Got an old truck kinda runnin’
Got a bad day turnin’ funny
Every flop just gives me one more tale to tell
Yeah the wheels keep fallin’ off it
But there’s still wind in my pockets
If this is rock bottom, it’s doin’ pretty well
[Bridge]
Could be worse
Could be broke in the dark, no porch, no yard
Could be lost
But I’m tracked by love and a halfway decent guard dog
Yeah the coffee’s cold
But my house ain’t
Yeah the roof might creak
But it still ain’t caved
[Chorus]
So I’m still here, still grateful
Little luck, a lot of faithful
Every wrong turn somehow kind of turns out swell
Got some duct-taped, busted moments
But this crazy life? I own it
Every mess just gives me one more song to yell
Yeah my day keeps goin’ sideways
But my heart’s still pointin’ skyways
If this is rock bottom, it’s doin’ pretty well
If this is rock bottom
Then I’m doin’ pretty well

country, Warm modern country with male vocals; brushed snare, upright bass, and twangy acoustic guitar. Verse stays tight and talk-sung with a playful drawl; chorus opens into big, grateful harmonies and easy stomps. Add a cheeky fiddle answering lines, subtle organ pad under the hook, and a small half-time breakdown on the last chorus for a singalong finish.
